CIMARRON, Kan. (AP) — At least 29 people have been taken to hospitals after an Amtrak passenger train derailed in rural southwest Kansas early Monday, authorities said. The train was traveling from Los Angeles to Chicago when it derailed just after midnight about 20 miles west of Dodge City, Amtrak said in a statement. Grey County spokeswoman Ashley Rogers said no one has life-threatening injuries. The rail company did not say how fast the train was traveling at the time of the derailment. Kansas Highway Patrol communication specialist Patricia Munford said five train cars derailed.
